Making a difference for the Aaron Lewis Fundation

Does your club want to gain £1,000 by winning a 10s tournament, which also celebrates the life of a very special young player and Army officer?
The Aaron Lewis Rugby 10s Tournament at Westcliff  Rugby Club, Essex, on June 21, is a fabulous chance to get involved and enjoy some summer rugby. The sixth annual event also comes with a significant prize for the winning team. So why not sign up now?
Founded in 2009 by Lewis’ friends and family, the event commemorates the 26-year-old Westcliff player and Royal Artillery Lieutenant, who died in December 2008 while serving in the Gereshk area of Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
Lewis played wing and full-back for the club and was earlier a member of the Wasps Academy. He was a pupil at Westcliffe High School for Boys and Campion Sixth Form, before graduating from Loughborough University and going to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
The Aaron Lewis Foundation supports charities which were close to Lewis’ heart, including Whizz Kids, a disabled children’s charity, which benefits from this summer’s tournament.It is also seeking to set up bursaries for young people travelling abroad to do charity work.
Old boys, university, club, pub and social sides are welcome at the 10s event. This is a great way to get on board with the fantastic work done in Aaron’s name.
